Masuda's said several times that he doesn't like the idea of paid dlc or microtransactions

The fandom's obsession with DLC is so weird. Just because they can doesn't mean they will or should.
The fact they put anything event-based on the cart at all (SPECIFICALLY the fact that the 3 event legends are on there) should show they probably don't ever want to mess with it.

Speaking of that: did Masuda/others state that they wouldn't do ANY DLC for Pokemon XY, or is it that there wouldn't be any paid DLC? I thought they made some sort of official statement about it leading up to XY's release.

I feel like there's a chance that they simply won't. Or, at most, they'll exist as large bosses. I could see a game having a boss be Mega Lucario or Mega Blaziken.

"There’s no download content or microtransaction content developed specifically for Pokémon X and Y. We’ve not come up with any ideas on that yet. I like the idea that Pokémon can be enjoyed with just one piece of software. You buy the game and it can be enjoyed just with that one software that you buy. That’s a key point for Game Freak" -- Junichi Masuda

That's good that they're not moving in that direction, for now. Not everyone can afford to get DLC. As in $5 here, $5 there, etc. It adds up. It's nice to see that they're keeping Pokémon free of it (exception being Pokébank).

Looking forward to the new X Files episodes coming out in 2018! Thank you David, Gillian, Mitch, Glen and the rest of the cast and crew of 1013 for taking time to make them .

Will be training up the shiny Abra I have that's named Robin in honor of you. May you R.I.P.

Again, DLC doesn't mean it costs money.
So they can move in that direction if they want in the future, it doesn't mean they will but free DLC can be anything they want it to be if they so choose.

I'd pay for a Shiny Charm item download, hatching 400-500 eggs of the same Pokémon -using- the Masuda Method and not getting even one shiny among all of them is just too cruel. Several hundred hatched eggs of...Charmanders.

I was doing some reading on Bulbapedia and saw something interesting about one of Weezing's Pokédex entries. It says that there have been discoveries of triplet Weezing. Might be interesting for a Mega Weezing that has a third head, seeming they aren't having them anywhere else haha!

Came across this list of trademarked names from August, and while there are a few missing, they seem to have been spot on - except Jynx. Maybe that's the final one to be discovered? The list even had Latios and Latias on.

Hey everyone! I recently got a shiny Riolu with MMing
I just thought that most of you guys might want to see how shiny Mega Lucario looks Like , I uploaded 2 photos in the spoiler tag cause someone might not want to get spoiled .

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^

Return over Double Edge, more power and no recoil, also you can replace PuP or normal move with Fake Out but I personally like the fighting coverage.

I'd replace sucker punch with crunch and earthquake with fake out...with parental bond, a power punch is basically a swords dance along with an attack...it is like the best move for mega kangaskhan...just get jolly with max speed...kangaskhan is pretty fast already and the only things that can really OHKO it are boosted attacks over 95 or fighting attacks..so watch out for infernape or meinshao..it really doesn't have much to worry about besides ferrothorn or bulky ghosts..and probably scizor...but even those get taken out after one power up punch....if max attack...

Also anyone know what Pokerus is. I have a few pokemon infected with it, not sure whether to restart the game now or not. Even got Mewtwo and about to catch Zygarde, resetting is going to be a pain

It's a viral virus that Game Freak was never able to get rid of due to the fact Porygon exists in the coding. In fact, Pokémon that contract Pokerus are said to turn into Digimon, and it eventually breaks the game and forces you to start over in Digimon X & Y.

...

Okay, I kid, I kid.

The Pokerus basically gives you an entire day for your current infected party to gain the double amount of EV obtained through battles. IT DOES NOT AFFECT SUPER TRAINING. If you want to prolong the effect, you need to box those infected ones in your boxes or else they'll be cured the next day you wake up. Once the Pokerus tag is removed, a small purple smiley face will appear on their stat screen, meaning that they can't get infected anymore. And to infect others, you simply need to fight battles until the virus moves to the other Pokémon in the current party.

So I was looking around Glittering Cave and Cyllage Gym for the Mega stone last night.
But I couldn't find it. However, after the failed attempt to look for Mega stones I battled Mewtwo and found its Mega stone after catching it.
Do Mega Stones always appear as a twinkle on the ground?

Listen, you gotta remember these things; always avoid claims of Fennekin being (or becoming) part Fighting-type, don't tick off mods, and NEVER (and I mean NEVER!) suggest that Arceus is the God of Pokemon when Endolise is online. If you somehow make this mistake, run for the hills before he attempts to murder you via tongue lashing.
